This is a long ad because I don't think many people know about this strobe. So I'm providing some background on it to hopefully answer as many questions as you might have.

If you're using Canon's RT (Radio Transmitter) flashes like the
- Canon 600EX RT and/or 600EX II-RT
- Canon 430EX III-RT
- (new) Canon Macro Twin Lite MT-26EX-RT
and/or controlling them with the ST-E3-RT transmitter... (if you don't have any of these, but want them, see my note at the bottom)
You can combine them with the Orlit 610 HSS TTL strobe! This strobe works on the Canon RT frequency so you can mix and match until your heart is content! And because it's a high-powered strobe, it offers MUCH more power/light than a flash.
I've used the ORLIT 610 as a standalone light, combined with a Glow 38" Parapop (gridded and ungridded), indoors and out, and also in combination with the Canon 600EX II-RT flashes. The ORLIT 610 uses a Bowen's mount making modifiers plentiful! It does come (as pictured) with a 5.5" reflector. You can control it just like you would a flash. It's TTL compatible meaning you can just let it do it's own thing or you can control it manually from the transmitter. It's honestly incredibly easy. At first, I was pretty intimidated by it but after playing with it for just a few minutes, I realized how easy it was.
Because this strobe is battery powered and controlled by Radio Transmission, there are ZERO wires/cables to worry about - making this an incredibly portable source of light. Of course, you CAN use the sync cable if you want to.
This particular unit was purchased recently (3.5 months ago) and I haven't needed it too much. In fact, I've only used this particular unit twice (1 wedding and 1 family session). The only reason I'm selling it is because I'm switching to Sony and will be picking up the Flashpoint strobe (which is more expensive than this one) to go with the Flashpoint flashes.
In fact, I've used this so little, the transmitter has never left the box (I used the Canon ST-E3-RT to trigger it instead as I'm just more familiar with it than the ORLIT transmitter) and I haven't even had to charge the battery, so the charging cables are still twist-tied and in the resealable bag. This unit has performed flawlessly for me!
I also still have the shipping box from Adorama as well as all the cushioning for shipping. So, it'll show up at your door exactly like it showed up at mine, minus two uses. I'll provide the original receipt as well just in case you need warranty work. My phone number is on the receipt so in case you do need warranty work and you need my assistance for some reason (doubtful, but you never know), you can just give me a call. The 2-year warranty is through Adorama, not through ORLIT.

(note that the transmitter you'll receive is different from the one at that link)
Please get in touch with any questions or concerns. If you'd like me to take additional pictures of anything specific, I'd be happy to do so.
NOTE: I have 2 Canon 600EX II-RT flashes, 3 Yongnuo 600EX-RTII flashes, 1 Canon ST-E3-RT transmitter, and 1 Yongnuo YN-E3-RT transmitter that I'll be listing eventually (again, I'm switching to Sony). I have all of the original packaging for each item and they're all in excellent condition except for one of the Yongnuo flashes which was dropped. It looks and functions normally except that it makes a louder than normal noise when the flash head is zooming. It will obviously be heavily discounted when I sell it. If you're interested in combining any of these items with the strobe, please let me know and we can work out a deal as I can likely fit several items into the shipping box for the strobe.
NOTE 2: The Yongnuo flashes and Yongnuo transmitter will NOT trigger the strobe. However, the Canon flashes and Canon transmitter can trigger both the strobe and the Yongnuo flashes. So if you want, you could trigger all 5 flashes I'm offering and the strobe with the ST-E3-RT transmitter.
NOTE 3: The image of the wedding party included below was one I took with the strobe, camera left, double diffused inside of a Glow Parapop 38" that was about 12 feet away. This was at around 5 or 6pm in June, in Southwest Florida. So yeah, this thing can EASILY overpower the sun (even though I just used it here as fill).
